According to a forthcoming book, Rep. Dingell thinks Trump may have posed as a reporter to call her.
In "Confidence Man," a reporter detailed how Dingell thought a caller sounded like Trump.
At a December rally, Trump insulted Dingell's husband. She praised her husband.
According to a forthcoming book by a New York Times journalist, the congresswoman began to suspect that the person she received a phone call from was President Donald Trump.
According to The Washington Post, the author of the book "Confidence Man" said that a person on the phone asked if she wanted an apology from Trump.
A man on the other end of the phone said he was a Washington Post reporter and that he knew her husband. She didn't recognize the name he gave.
She said that the man asked if she was looking for an apology. She said that people could be civil to each other. The man's voice sounded similar to the one of the forty-fifth president.
Trump's office didn't reply immediately.
At the end of last year, Trump suggested that John Dingell was in hell.
During a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, in December, Trump regaled the crowd with a story about a phone call in which he ordered flags to be flown at half-mast in honor of a fallen soldier.
John would be very happy. He would be so happy when he looked down. "Thank you so much, sir, I don't know, maybe he's looking up," Trump said, before adding, "Maybe he's looking up."
On the same day, she voted to move forward with the impeachment trial.
The congresswoman spoke out against Trump's comments, saying that they affected her in a way you can't imagine.
Let's get politics out of the way. After a lifetime of service, my husband earned all his awards.
I'm getting ready for the first holiday season without him. She said that you brought her down in a way she couldn't imagine and made her healing more difficult.
The quotes from the phone call never appeared in a story according to the report.
New York journalists say they received many calls from Trump pretending to be a publicist.
